Description

PURPOSE:
The Health Care for the Homeless (HCH) program is designed to increase the access of homeless populations to cost-effective, case managed, and integrated primary care and substance abuse services provided by existing community-based programs/providers.  It is expected that each application submitted to serve an identified homeless population will present a clear focus on maintaining access to care and reducing health disparities identified in the target population by proposing a comprehensive health care and social services program.  It is the intent of HRSA to continue to support health services to the homeless people in these areas/locations given the continued need for cost-effective, community-based primary care services.  Twenty-four HCH grantees will reach the end of their project period during FY 2004.  

ELIGIBILITY:
Applicants are limited to currently funded programs whose project periods expire during FY 2004 and new organizations proposing to serve the same areas or populations being served by these existing programs.  New organizations eligible to compete to serve one of these areas are public and nonprofit private entities, including faith-based organizations and community-based organizations.
